I was inspired to make Neighbours by a stay of almost a year in the People's Republic of China. Although I only saw the beginnings of Mao's revolution, my faith in human nature was reinvigorated by it. Then I came back to Quebec and the Korean War began. (...) I decided to make a really strong film about anti-militarism and against war. (Norman McLaren)


The version of the film that was submitted and won the Academy Award was not the complete film. A sequence that showed each man breaking down the house of the other and murdering his wife and baby child was edited out in order to make the film more palatable to American judges. By the time of the Vietnam war public opinion had so changed that Mclaren was asked to reinsert the excised footage, but the original negative had been destroyed. The scene was added using an inferior quality positive print.
